Only grades you based on a few very easy tests. And he always gives the class an opportunity to bump up everyone's test grade by one letter. Easiest and funniest professor I've ever had.

Comment:

He is one of the best professors I have ever had. He does have a bit of an accent, so that takes some getting used to. However, he goes into depth about WHY certain equations work, and explains proofs. This way you can fully understand what is going on behind the scenes.

Caragiu is an amazing professor! He is so helpful and his tests are straightforward. The tests are right off of the review sheet so they are not bad at all.

Caragiu, although difficult at times, was the first math prof I had here. I got a C but I actually understood the math in his class. I have Boyadzhiev now and I wish I had Caragiu again for sure. Take Caragiu if you want to understand Calculus and do well, otherwise take Fuller.

Comment:

The best math professor I have encountered at ONU. His accent may take a few days to get used to, but it's not bad. He likes to make subtle jokes and tries to relate at times. The Friday exams are easy as long as you pay attention, though the final is more challenging. He's willing to help and explain if asked, and gives the benefit of the doubt.
